Ok, but I think we all need to stop putting the emphasis on what other mothers are doing, and how that can make us feel inadequate. When it comes down to it, shouldn’t our parenting choices be more about raising our children “right” versus validating ourselves? Parenting is ALL ABOUT personal choices and everyone parents differently based on culture, means, and personal experience. I’m sure Jennie is a wonderful mother.

After all, how does she know it wasn’t the awesome nanny who packed that lunch?

So true! Women need to CHILL!! Gosh! I work with all women all day long (RN nurse-only one male nurse on our floor) and women just tear each other down all the time! It should not be a competition of the "best parent"! Jenny sounds like a great mother to me-just like the rest of us on hear!
Love to all the mothers out there doing their best!

There’s another one on the site and she says that Supernanny would be mad because she falls asleep in bed with each of her kids. I think thats nice to hear

I think it’s very nice to see honesty about the challenges of life and parenting. Nice to see that not all celebrities think they are superhuman

I love the photo. It is from a recent Redbook article.
Also, I can't wait to see Peter in the Twilight movie!

See? I think that we moms already put enough preasure on ourselves that we don’t need others making us feel bad about breastfeeding vs. bottle feeding, different types of childbirth, cloth vs. disposable diapers, names we choose for our kids. The list goes on.

20 years from now, Jennie’s kids are not going to remember that she didn’t put a green bagel in their lunch. They are going to remember the years and years of cuddles and kisses. That is what makes a mom a super mom!
